Hi:
    How i obtain inmediatly the id of last insert ?
    For example i have a forum, when the user post a question, i send a mail
to administrator, but i want to refer the id from this insert, how i do this ?
    Well i think to make a select max(id) inmediatly but i beliebe that must
have any colision from other user that post other question.

What database are you using? You may be able to use mysql_insert_id() or "SELECT @@IDENTITY" depending upon your DB... -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
